Developed as a reader for upper division undergraduates and
beginning graduates, 'From Symbolism to Socialist Realism' offers a
broad variety of materials contextualizing the literary texts most
frequently read in Russian literature courses at this level. These
approaches range from critical-theoretical articles, cultural and
historical analyses, literary manifestos and declarations of
literary aesthetics, memoirs of revolutionary terrorism and arrests
by the NKVD, political denunciations and "literary vignettes"
capturing the spirit of its particular time in a nutshell. The
voices of this "polyphonic" reader are diverse: Briusov, Savinkov,
Ivanov-Razumnik, Kollontai, Tsvetaeva, Shklovskii, Olesha,
Zoshchenko, Zhdanov, Grossman, Evtushenko and others. The range of
specialists on Russian culture represented here is equally broad:
Clark, Erlich, Falen, Grossman, Nilsson, Peace, Poznansky,
Siniavskii, and others. Together they evoke and illuminate a
complex and tragic era.
